Well the election is over, and although I am not totally pleased by the results (although what I wanted wasn't really even possible), I am very happy to be spared from the constant inundation of political ads.
Not much changed in my area of the country, and we weren't really that surprised. Although both A and I agonized over who to vote for we suspected the President would be reelected. In some ways I am more hopeful because I was not a fan of Romney. I really only thought he was a teeny, tiny bit better, and I questioned that at times.
I am encouraged because I hope that in four years time we will be ready for a change, and that that change will be offered in a much better candidate than Romney. In a perfect world an awesome third party candidate would emerge that would break up this horrible deadlock! That's my take on the election.
November
PS. I have figured out how to balance the budget. Federally legalize pot, and tax the h*ll out of it ;)
I agree with you about this election! Not a fan of either candidate, and while I disagree with Obama on a lot of things, on some issues I think he's actually better than Romney.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see.
Hahaha, Husband is excited to see what happens in Colorado.
ReplyDeleteOh, and it should be noted that Husband has never done drugs a day in his life. This is purely from a war-on-drugs, tax-income perspective.
DeleteI agree, I am glad it's over but I am not surprised by the outcome. I think we should seriously start talking about a third party candidate in this country.
ReplyDeleteI love your balanced budget idea! :-) It's a good one!
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed too in the choices of candidates. It is the lesser of two evils, not a better candidate, which is not how it should be, but politics is all snakes & money it seems like. The good guys always get shut out.
